Implementation
We have implemented the teaching of Spanish across KS2. Each class receives dedicated Spanish lessons, delivered by a specialist language teacher, fluent in Spanish. This allows for the teaching of a foreign language to be progressive & consistent throughout the school,
We work closely with the MFL subject lead at The Brunts Academy and we utilise subject specialists for language teaching. Pupils follow progressive schemes of work. Recognising children’s prior learning, they are taught purposeful skills, concepts and vocabulary. Culture & francophone countries are covered at various points across the schemes of work. Lessons are ‘chunked’, fast paced and include speaking, listening and reading skills and sometimes a writing activity in any given lesson. Consolidation is vital and lessons are based on practising the same learning point in the different skill areas. Children are engaged in a variety of enjoyable learning activities such as, games, playground games, songs, dance, videos, interactive whiteboard activities, PowerPoint presentations, role-plays and kinaesthetic resources such as pair cards, dominoes, authentic story books and props.
